A ten-minute walk to the boat launch and trails along the channel, to a park with softball and playground equipment and a warming house. Masses of pelicans converge on the lake in spring and there’s an enthusiastic boating community on the lake. 90 minutes to the Twin Cities and 60 minutes to Rochester. Affordable & peaceful. Yes, you want to live here.
